you know, non-generic gunny bullet shooting games that are really coo?

Just really sick of shootem games because they suck and the gameplay is very shallow. Almost all of them suck, especially the Call of Duty style ones, since the campaigns are super linear and like 2 hours long and not given any thought into them and they're just throw away games. Not just talking about FPS, but TPS as well.

Very very sick of the Call of Duty casualization of the modern video game industry. Sick of new gamer 8 year olds who think all games suck aside from CoD style shooters. I'm very sick of those kinds of kids ruining the video game industry and games these days suck so bad and are casualized mainstream watered down garbage. Sick of all these clones, these poor excuses of games, bogging down the video game industry with their lame shallow experiences.

Want a real shooter with actual depth and exploration? Metroid Prime. That is how FPS should be done, but NOOOOOOooo, shooters have to be dumbed down for dumb people and they all have to be super shallow and simple like CoD. Generic shootie after generic shootey.


that being said, since almost all current gen shooters suck, what are some excellent games that do not involve shooting bullet gunz?

If you like Metroid Prime, you might like Uncharted.

Any genre that you don't use bullets in. Not any generic and shallow shootey games, anything else though.

And 2nd poster, Uncharted series is super linear. The game is about an explorer, but the video game is limited and you do not get to explore. Unlike Uncharted, Metroid Prime actually has lots of exploration, atmosphere and depth, which is why it is immensely better than the Uncharted series.

elder scrolls iv oblivion and elder scrolls v skyrim are good games if you like the medieval style rpg games. and if you decide to get one or both of them, just know that skyrim isn't a sequel to obivion however the events of oblivion are mentioned in skyrim so you don't need to worry about missing anything in the main story

already have Skyrim, thank you. As far as Journey is concerned, I wouldn't pay actual money for a 2 hour game. If a game is less than 10 hours then count me out. I like games with meat on them.

glad to see i'm not the only one who's noticed how much the gaming industry has gone to complete sh*t lately.. couldn't have summed it up better myself, i feel your pain my friend, we have immature weak minded easily amused multiplayer obsessed annoying @sshole douche turd losers and there multi-idiot hermit online geek buddies to thank for the recent rise to everything demanding to be all about CoD in the world of gaming as of late... non shooters? lets see.. good one's i can only think of a few, Alice: Madness Returns was a really fun platformer, if you've never played it i highly recomend ya give it a try.. demon souls and dark souls, heard they're both decent but highly difficult.. mk9 is one of the best 1 on 1 fighting games i've ever played, skullgirls on psn was pretty good also and its got a sequel on the way, Dante's Inferno!!! VERY under appreciated game.. i'll list more later if i think of any.

LittleBig Planet 2 is one of the best games of all time.

Dark Souls but I must warn you it is insanely punishing.

Skate 3 is awesome if you like skateboarding.

Infamous is somewhat shootey, you use electricity instead of bullets though

The Sly Collection and The Jak and Daxter Collection

I think those are all good too. Try Rage too, it didn't get the reviews it deserved but it's the best single player FPS this gen so far IMO. Borderlands a close second but that's a little different.

Just take a look at the action / adventure and RPG genres. The Uncharted games, Batman Arkham Asylum / City, God of War, Assassin's Creed, Infamous, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, tons of stuff. For RPG's there's Fallout 3, Dark Souls, Demon's Souls, Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, Dragon Age Origins 1 & 2, etc.

Valkyria Chronicles. Maybe Tales of Graces if you're into that.

Well, considering you're complaining about linearity in shooters then it's difficult to take you seriously since shooters last gen were also usually linear. However, there are some games to check out such as:

  • Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (idk if you like arcade style racing games, but if you do then this game so far has me hooked)
  • The Assassin's Creed series, but the ACII spinoff series (Brotherhood and Revelations) are very similar to each other and the 2nd game, so it gets kind of boring as you continue through the series.
  • Red Dead Redemption (I know you said no shooters, but as far as linearity, this game gives a good amout of freedom and things to do outside of the main story, and the characters are all well done, so you'll probably be into the story, though it takes a few hours to really get going).
  • Far Cry 3 looks to be pretty open, and it's back on a tropical island. Hopefully it redeems itself after FC2, which didn't do much for me.
  • Dragon's Dogma is coming May 22nd, and it looks like it may be one of the best non-shooters of the year to hit consoles.

There are other games, I just can't seem to think of any games right now. I've yet to try Alice: Madness Returns, but it definitely looks like an old school platformer, which translates into being what is probably a very fun game.

But I don't think the industry is going down, it's just that there's a lot of media coverage for Call of Duty and other such games, so it makes it seem like they're the only games out there. Sadly, to find out about most games that aren't shooters you can no longer rely on media of any sort (even gaming sights) to fill you in on it, or at least not as a headline article. If I see another BF3 vs. MW3 video being the main headline on GS I'm just going to freak out. At this point does anyone even care about the whole debate between the two?
